About Me

When I began Studio, Garden and Bungalow in September, 2012, my purpose was to widen the scope of my blogging beyond that of my first blog: Pintucks, which covers several topics from costume and fashion to vintage and modern styles, along with sewing.

Since then, I have been writing here on topics closer to my Pasadena home: Southern California lifestyle in gardening and landscape, home and interiors, along with traveling both in and around the local beaches, mountains and foothill town of southern California and those further afield. Most recently I have started to share my new high desert cabin, and will be posting on that as it develops.

After a career working with costumes, fashion and teaching all subjects related, I still have an interest in apparel and textiles, so those topics find their way into this blog as well. It's from this experience that I can write about how to clean a rug!

If that weren't enough, I have two shops on Etsy: Silverthorne-Nye, where heritage vintage for men and women in linens and other natural fibers, along with ethnic clothing and textiles are listed and PintuckStyle, for vintage fashion, textiles and research findings.

I find inspiration from my personal experiences working in my home and garden, along with travel and shopping where unique finds are possible. My love of crafting finds a place here too, and I hope you enjoy my posts on current and vintage crafting.

Thank you for dropping by, and if you are interested in using an image or quote from my blog, please contact me first so that I know about it here first (thank you).

I hope you find Studio, Garden and Bungalow a place to visit often, and please don't hesitate to leave comments when you have something to add.
